José Mojica Prize at the Opera San Miguel Concurso National Contest, Mexico

Overview:

I am very passionate about music and of course singing, and I also love to teach and make people the best they can be. I graduated from Manhattan School of Music with a Bachelors in Music. I have been teaching for a year an a half in public schools and privately either in person or online. I have done concerts all over Europe, Mexico and the USA. I will be singing The Magic Flute as Tamino by Mozart in August here in NYC at the National Opera Theater with a full Orchestra.

EXPERIENCE

As I said before, I have been teaching for a year and a half and I love it. The school I taught at asked me to teach there again, but because of my schedule unfortunately I could not. I also teach online.

METHODS USED

The vocal security of the students is important and necessary at all costs and all the time. I solve little problems to make a big impact on the voice. I start every class warming up, and with every class we increase the vocal range with certain exercises depending on the level and age of the student. I was so lucky to be taught by the Metropolitan Opera Star Mignon Dunn, who is a Mezzo-soprano that sang 40 years in the Met with Placido Domingo, José Carreras, Frnaco Corelli, Kiri Te Kanawa, Luciano Pavarotti; the latter taught her the technique she passed to me.

LESSON STYLE

It's so important for both teacher and student to be confident. I encourage everyone, because if everyone knows how to speak and shout then everyone has a voice to sing. Safety is my philosophy, but for intermediate and experienced singers risk is what allows you to cross the line from good to amazing. I set goals within the first two or three classes when I start to know your voice; from then I state that we will work, for example, in the vowel A, or in diction, or in breathing, etc. I focus on little problems to solve the big ones and to have a big increase of vocal talent.

Awesome, we're on it!

We're reaching out to all our teachers in your area to see who would be a great match using the schedule and specific request you provided. Once a match is made we will send you an email to notify you of the match and the instructor will call you to discuss options in setting up your risk-free trial lesson.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
